Kuwait prosecutor's office throws out alleged coup plot case

KUWAIT CITY (AP) — The Kuwaiti prosecutor's office has thrown out a case brought by a member of the ruling family and involving an alleged plot — captured on video — to overthrow the government.

The official Kuwait News Agency cited a statement by the prosecutor's office on Wednesday that said it was throwing out the closely watched case brought by Sheikh Ahmad Fahad Al Sabah because of a lack of evidence and insufficient "veracity of details."
